ISO 16900 (International Standard for Respiratory Protective Devices)

ISO 16900 is an international standard that sets guidelines for designing, testing, and evaluating respiratory protective devices, like masks and respirators. Its goal is to ensure these devices effectively protect users by filtering harmful particles and gases while being comfortable and safe to wear. The standard covers aspects such as performance requirements, fit, filtration efficiency, and how devices should be tested to meet safety criteria. Overall, ISO 16900 helps manufacturers create reliable protective equipment and ensures users receive consistent, high-quality respiratory protection.
